Breastforms

So I'm thinking of investing in a pair of breastforms... However they're quite expensive, and I'm wanting to know how realistic they are... For example, could I get away with a low-cut top in them...?

... I expected this post to be longer... Oopsy!

Hugs!

I have learnt quite a lot about Breast-forms after I did some research.

My best advice to start with is: if you have the money go to proper on-line store and they will get the best size, shape and skin tone for you. If you are on a budget try the ebay, buy new and in the UK. Dont buy from china or Hong-Kong as these can lead to some serious problems.

Choosing a size for you is probably gonna be the hardest thing to do. I bought a F size forms but these equal to 34F 36E 38DD etc. be carefull to get ones that look good for you body shape etc.

As far as looks goes, they look very real in a full support lace bra but I would never ever wear a low cut top as they would stand out a mile. If you bought expensive ones that match you skin tone you may get away with it a little more but can probable still see the seam.

Hope this has helped, msg me if you after anymore advice.

I bought mine from the breast form store and I love 'em!

As far as wearing a low cut top, not exactly because as soon as you bend down someone could look down your shirt and then they'd see the breast forms. However, it's possible if you already have some breast tissue of your own to work with. In this case one would put the breast forms in as usual and then lift them slightly and push your own breast tissue up and towards the center of your chest. This may make your forms rest more so towards the outer edge of your bra instead of in the center like they normally do. If done on both sides you should have your own breast tissue squeezed together at the center almost creating a line where the two meet. You could then wear a lower cut top that way.

It's kind of like what a push up bra does with padding.

Kaitlyn, the advice already offered is right on. I also bought mine at the BFS, and the quality was excellent. They felt the right weight, had the right feel, and fit well. The covering didn't tear or get discolored.

You could do a lot worse. As with most things, you get what you pay for. Oh, and in a bra, I thought they looked very natural, and so did my S/O.

I bought mine from the Breast Form Store. They are the same people that host this website for the server! So Laura knows who they are too!

You are not buying them for color you are buying them for the right size for you. You buy a masectemy bra from the website too (if you want) and you just place the breast forms inside the pockets so they stay in place. It is a good idea to have different bra colors. A black one might sound sexy but when you buy a white shirt it will show through etc. I bought a white mastectomy bra originally then black and the next masectomy bra will be natural beige. You could buy medical grade adjesive they sell at the breast form store and attach breast forms to your chest but that is a lot of work for wearing them on a regulat basis and you need to get them off eventually too! I want to try the adehdive some time though too it should be fun.

For me I bought some breast forms in a size that are in a average size of most cis women and that is equivalent to size b c range. I belive the onesIi bought were size 5 Gold Seal Premium and they are designed for the male torso. I bought mine several years ago. If you get something too big you will attract unwanted attention. They have a sizing chart on their website, a video etc. The best thing to do would be to email them if you were unsure, tell them your height weight and current chest size amd what look you want. For me i wanted to blend in with other cis women. Buy too big a breast form size and you will have trouble with some sweaters, shirts etc keep that in mind too!

The Breast Form Store video can be seen at this site. http://www.thebreastformstore.ca/breastforms-catalog.aspx

Like women who have had a mesectomy you wouldn't want people looking all the way down your shirt otherwise they would know your secret. Try different tops and see how you feel with the breast forms. If you have some flesh on your chest you could use some tape to pull both sides together to help create cleavage for lower cut tops for eg.

I hope this helps :-)

Hi Kaitlyn, I have silicone breast forms from the Breast Form Store.They look good and feel natural. Best money I have ever spent. Purchase

the right size for your body type so you look natural. I sometimes wear scoop neck tops and the forms dont show,real low cut tops would

be a problem. You can buy adhesive for your forms to keep them in place.

Love Kim

my girlfriend bought hers from the breastform store and she has a pair she bought off amazon and they both feel very realalistic and look it to. yes they can be exspensive but you wont be dissapointed in them and yes you can buy the addhesive that stuff helps the forms seal to you so you dont see a line through your clothes.

hope this helps if not let me know.

best wishes and best of luck.

I bought a pair from Janet's Closet and under clothes they are dead on. Unfortunately (and this is not Janets fault) I overestimated a little and I have a pretty sizable D cup now. They do fit my figure but they definately attract attention.

If you have a little bit of natural material to work with, just bend over and reach in under them on each side and pull up and to the center. That way you will have a bit of natural cleavage that sells them a little better.

I HIGHLY recommend getting a pocket bra for them though as otherwise you will need to use surgical adhesive which works, but gets a little difficult to maintain if you are in a hotter climate and sweat.

      One of the nicest confirmations for me was when the 'new me' felt absolutely normal. I had, like almost everyone, felt very excited with each new development. But 6 years in, it's wonderful just experiencing things, like HRT, as daily rituals that are simply part of my life.   I also am privileged to have experienced a feminine perspective these last six years. It confirms how unhappy I was earlier, and things like masculine privilege and mansplaining are so apparent to me now.    Kind regards,   Astrid

      OK, I have several things that should be going for me, but really don't make much difference.  I have been on HRT since 2009 but my height is 5'11 and 230 pounds, not much up top and have never done facial hair removal sol without make-up it is old lady white on my face.  Every now and then I get someone with that weird look on their face but rarely get fully "clocked" as Trans unless I am in a bunch of Drag Queens  even without being in Drag.  For the most part though I simply no longer worry about misgendering and "do not hear it" if it happens, but if I hear too much I just leave the situation.   Your genetics are playing a big part in your life due to the height and inability to "Bulk UP".  That said, in ordinary daily life are you trying too hard to "man up?" so that your actions are exaggerated and not convincing.  A chip on the shoulder male will invite more trouble that one not trying so hard.  Do you know who you are?  Be that person and the gender is easier to pull off.  I am an overweight feminine dressing older lady with dyed red hair and some minorly atypical ability to take part in "male interests" hobby wise and I can be assertive in business issues.    I have two Trans Male acquaintances who could be your body doubles.  One is a true friend and has male traits of interest in people, a willingness to care and be straightforward in masculine behaviors, is a good listener and a whole lot of that stuff in him.  He gets an occasional "read" but sloughs it off and doesn't respond.  The other acquaintance will remain just that since he is screechy, thinks he is a celebrity in the community and the whole garbanzo.  He is about 49% likely to be misgendered and go off in a persons face when it happens and makes the rest of us wonder why we keep him around.    We are our own worst enemies when judging what we look like , absolutely the very worst, and we will call attention to what we see as flaws and out ourselves as I did often in my first years.  By now the problem children in my life have moved on and the rest simply know me as ME and as the result it does not matter if I pass or not.  Hard facts not positivity.  It will take you time, maybe more time than I have to be around, but when all else fails, lower your demands and expectations and it will happen.

      Hello, I'm new to the forum.   I'm a 22yr old trans guy. I've been on T for 6yrs, and I have both top surgery and a hysto. I have meta scheduled for next January.   Despite being on hormones for so long, I still don't pass well. I'm 5'1" which I can't change, no matter how much I hate it. I try and work out every other day, but I can't afford the gym so I just do bodyweight. I have a little muscle on my arms and shoulders, and pretty muscular thighs. I'm skinny overall but I do have a big butt.   The only facial hair I have is on my chin, and it's slight. My face is feminine, though my partners tell me it's not. If it was masculine though, then I wouldn't get misgendered. I think they have a bias from knowing me well and liking me. I have been told by a stranger that I have a feminine face after they misgendered me and my partner asked what made them think I was a girl (which was embarrassing, I prefer to just lower my gaze and walk away and sulk).   My hair has not made a difference in the frequency of misgendering. I had it natural color (brown), but my partner wanted me to dye it silver on the top so I did. This time it came out kind of dark and has a blue tinge to it, which I dislike, but it will lighten up. But all the advice I've heard is 'don't ever dye your hair!' Which makes me think it's why I'm getting misgendered, but in reality the frequency is the same. The sides are short, top is longer and swept to the side. Basic trans guy haircut #01. It comes in the trans guy training manual (lol). But if a cis guy had my haircut, nobody would misgender him. So it's not the hair. And bangs look awful on me so this is all that works. I do also have rounded glasses, which I have heard not to do, but square ones look awful on me (trust me, I've tried).   I wear basic clothes, nothing special. I don't have a washing machine or dryer, so I have to go to the laundromat sporadically when I can afford it. So I have to rewear the same thing multiple times. I just wear a t-shirt and shorts usually. I have 1 pair of jeans, the only pair I could find that fits me (I had to get them from the kids section). I feel like I should dress like guys typically do around here (I live in Texas), maybe it will help me blend in. Though I don't blend in with dyed hair. It makes me self-conscious, but I would feel bad changing it now since my partner just dyed it for me.   I live in a conservative state, obviously, being in Texas. So I don't know if that changes anything regarding passing.   I'm just so sick of it. I was given the hopes that I would pass easily on T if I was just patient, but that's not the case at all. I don't regret going on T, because I do like the changes that I have, but I wish it would do more to help me. People try to tell me I pass well, but I don't think I can trust them when strangers misgender me. It's contrary evidence. It seems like they are lying to me, and I don't appreciate it. I'd rather have my feelings hurt than be lied to.   There's always cosmetic surgery, but I'm schizophrenic and mentally disabled so I can't make enough money to afford that since I can't work.   If it's unfixable, then how do you cope with knowing you will never pass? Is there even any way to cope? How do I deal with getting misgendered? It just makes me so depressed every time, even though I don't care what random people think about me. It reminds me I hate how I look and that I look too feminine. And that I'll never look the way that I'm supposed to.   (Please no toxic positivity)

      I am a little confused about the word in your title there.    Defamation is a variation I know about, and it is akin to Libel and Slander in meaning, and could be the object of a court action or a couple of types.   If you are referring to the act of denying or taking away your feminine gender, ie. they keep using masculine names and pronouns or referring to you as  a "man" or "man in a dress", then yes it happens to me on rare occasion and if it is online, I simply block the moron doing it or leave the group where they are doing it, and may or may not come back if the person is there.  When people are willing to learn about Trans Folks I do give what are jokingly referred to as Trans 101 or even more in depth classes to the receptive and accepting audiences.  I DO NOT however try to teach a pig to sing, which as they say sounds like hell and annoys the pig.  If someone is invalidating your gender, get away from them safely and FAST.

      Nice! I've found myself shopping around for astrophotography gear more than once but haven't taken the plunge yet. To close to a metro area to do it from my home.
